Well, might as well dive in with both feet!! I believe God "predestined" everybody.

Romans 8:29 "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate..."

Psalm 139:14-16 "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."

So, being the first to admit I am not a Bible scholar, does that make me a literalist, a universalist, a Calvinist, a reformist, or can I just call myself a Christian? :) (No disrespect intended to any doctinal warriors!)

It might make you a saint who delights to glory in your Maker. Do you also believe that God works all things after the counsel of His will and do you believe that His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and do you believe that we are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation?

Just some cream puff gospel questions! (P.S. BigMack, before you call this post circular or spin or anything, you might want to check to see if I'm quoting the Bible or not.)

So God failed?
